PORTFOLIO
The GLA Limit Switch Series with standard or plug-in housings
(EN50041 design, with 30 mm x 60 mm mounting) complement
the smaller GLC Series, GLD Series and GLE Series (EN50047
design, with 20 mm to 22 mm mounting). The GLA Series is part
of the MICRO SWITCH™ Limit Switch Series that includes the
HDLS Series (Heavy Duty Limit Switch) and General Purpose
Limit Switch (LS) Series.

APPLICATION INFORMATION Figure 14. Actuation Adjustment


Side Rotary Assemblies
The side rotary assemblies incorporate a feature for adjusting the
free position of the side rotary lever. The EN 50041 body style
allows infinite adjustment and reclamp. See the following dia-
grams for details of the mechanism in each case.
Figure 12. Standard EN 50041 Body Style

REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
All levers for side rotary assemblies are available as replacment
parts. All basics, except the plug-in, can be replaced. All EN
50041 heads can be replaced. The replacement procedures for
these components are straightforward in nature.
Side Rotary Levers
Remove the lever from the product being replaced. On EN 50041

1. Carefully remove the complete head assembly.
2. Turn the head assembly upside down as shown in Figure 14.
3. Pull the plunger mechanism out and rotate it through 90°

Plug-in EN50041 body style
The switch enclosure portion of this two-piece body style plugs
into a pre-wired terminal block mounted in the application.
Replacement is accomplished by unplugging the old switch
enclosure and plugging-in a new switch enclosure (basics are
permanently staked in the switch enclosure).

LED WIRING
The GLF, GLG, and GLH versions of GLS (EN 50041) come
complete with LED indicators. These indicators can be wired in a In Figure 17, Wiring Diagram 2, the basic switch contact is

The following wiring diagrams show possible configurations


that can be used for the LEDs. Combinations of these arrange-
ments can be used where the dual LED versions of GLS are
employed.

Figure 16. Wiring Diagram 1 In Figure 18, Wiring Diagram 3, regardless of the position of the
basic switch, the current for the LED can flow through the LED
and the LED will illuminate indicating power available.

Figure 19. Wiring Diagram 4

In Figure 16, Wiring Diagram 1, the basic switch contact is open.


The current for the LED can flow through the LED (via the load)
and the LED illuminates.
In Figure 19, Wiring Diagram 4, when the load is energized the
LED will illuminate. The above examples suggest options with
these versions of GLS. The LED pilot lights should be treated as
’’for indication only’’ devices.

Note:
While every effort is made to ensure that the above guidelines are
accurate, no responsibility can be accepted for failure to apply good engineering
practice to machinery design and use of Honeywell products. Never apply any of
the procedures outlined above on live circuits. Ensure that testing of changes is
carried out with no risk of injury during tests. These guidelines are produced to help
our customers make the right choices in applying our Limit Switches to general
applications. Contact your local Honeywell representative if you have any difficulties.
